Art once more

On one of my favourite blogs--Art Moco--, there was recently a post about an artist named, James Casebere. What Casebere does is he makes scale architectural models, in very fine details and then he photographs them. There are a number of very interesting things that one can do with models that cannot be done with real buildings--or, at least, not done without significant cost. One common theme in Casebere's work is flooding. As you can see in the picture above and the one immediately below.

This next picture displays another blessing afforded to a photographer who takes pictures of models is that he can set up nearly perfect lighting conditions; as in the image below.

Lastly, I love the image below. It makes me imagine having a party in that room with all of my friends, the building being set on the top of the hill looking out, in all sides, over the Greek Isles, and maybe even having a great band jammin' on one side of the room. I'd like that.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. (Feel free to tell me whether you like them or not.)
